Sam Bachman Placed On The Injured List
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Sam Bachman will begin the 2025 season on the injured list, although the team did not specify exactly what injury the 25-year-old righty is dealing with. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft underwent shoulder surgery in October of 2023 and was limited to just 61 2/3 innings in the minor leagues last year. This year, he was expected to stretch out and compete for a spot in the rotation but was shut down in early March after experiencing discomfort. He did not make any Cactus League appearances due to inflammation, and there were never any reports that he resumed throwing. While the situation isn't clear, it seems he could be set to start the season with an extended absence. He was knocked around in Double-A and Triple-A last season, so even when he does return, he is a long shot to return to the MLB roster until he shows more in the minors.
